ACCREDITATION establishes requirements for degrees, ACCREDITATION establishes guidelines for faculty support, ACCREDITATION establishes requirements for program evaluation, ACCREDITATION establishes standards of quality for curriculum and instruction, Assuring Quality in Distance Education Programs begins with HIGH STANDARDS, formative information impacts quality course design, ACCREDITATION reflects collaborative work of six regional accreditation associations, ACCREDITATION reflects joint rules across geographic regions of US, Assuring Quality in Distance Education Programs requires EFFECTIVE PROGRAM EVALUATION, "AEIOU" Approach (Fortune & Keith, 1992) measures unanticipated consequences, "AEIOU" Approach (Fortune & Keith, 1992) measures effectiveness, "AEIOU" Approach (Fortune & Keith, 1992) measures organizational context, "AEIOU" Approach (Fortune & Keith, 1992) measures accountability, "AEIOU" Approach (Fortune & Keith, 1992) measures impact, EFFECTIVE PROGRAM EVALUATION is systemic, qualified requires investment in teaching faculty how to teach well, access to adequate funding requires public or government valuing education enough to support it via tax or private dollars, simply replicate traditional approaches but has comparability w/ traditional courses, joint rules across geographic regions of US but What about international/global standards?, Qualitiative plus quantitiative measurement supports ACCREDITATION, Assuring Quality in Distance Education Programs requires access to adequate funding, effective and fully implemented policies for intellectual property rights, effective and fully implemented policies for copyright, proficient at distance education ensures quality course design, summative information impacts quality course design, Qualitiative plus quantitiative measurement such as "AEIOU" Approach (Fortune & Keith, 1992), Qualitiative plus quantitiative measurement such as Woodley & Kirkwood (1986), proficient at distance education results in using full potential of the medium, academic rigor not simply consumer's desire for ease and convenience, in control of use of course through effective and fully implemented policies, EFFECTIVE PROGRAM EVALUATION provides summative information, EFFECTIVE PROGRAM EVALUATION provides formative information, Woodley & Kirkwood (1986) measures policy, Woodley & Kirkwood (1986) measures program aims, Woodley & Kirkwood (1986) measures Activities, Woodley & Kirkwood (1986) measures outcomes, Woodley & Kirkwood (1986) measures organizational procedures, Woodley & Kirkwood (1986) measures efficiency, organizational context such as effective and fully implemented policies, comparability w/ traditional courses supports ACCREDITATION, organizational procedures such as effective and fully implemented policies, EFFECTIVE PROGRAM EVALUATION includes Qualitiative plus quantitiative measurement, ACCREDITATION increases quality of program, ACCREDITATION increases credibility of program, ACCREDITATION increases outcomes, quality course design ensures students have pre-requisite skills for success, quality course design ensures appropriate class size, quality course design ensures adequate personal interaction w/ students, HIGH STANDARDS based on academic rigor, quality course design uses full potential of the medium, Assuring Quality in Distance Education Programs reflected in ACCREDITATION, HIGH STANDARDS include effective and fully implemented policies, HIGH STANDARDS include teaching and research faculty, HIGH STANDARDS include comparability w/ traditional courses, HIGH STANDARDS include EFFECTIVE PROGRAM EVALUATION, HIGH STANDARDS include quality course design, HIGH STANDARDS include "good teaching PLUS", teaching and research faculty ensures academic rigor, comparability w/ traditional courses including advising, comparability w/ traditional courses including depth, comparability w/ traditional courses including scope, comparability w/ traditional courses including research opportunities, comparability w/ traditional courses including student assessment, quality course design does not simply replicate traditional approaches, teaching and research faculty are in control of use of course, teaching and research faculty are proficient at distance education, teaching and research faculty are adequately supported, teaching and research faculty are qualified, ACCREDITATION could strenthen public or government valuing education enough to support it via tax or private dollars, ACCREDITATION is means of quality control for degree- granting programs
